I am in the process of requesting a copy of the marriage record and the bonds. I am told that they will probably be about $3.00. Amite Co. was created in 1809 according to the Handy Book for Genealogists. I think the county seat is in Liberty, MS 39645. I was wrong about the Natchez District. That was Adams Co. I see Amite was made from Wilkinson Co. which was created in 1802. What area were your ancestors from?

What town???

I have an ancestor who married Robert BARKLEY in ca 1752, probably in Rowan Co., NC. Her first name is Leah, and her surname may have been BUSBY, but it could be BURSBY, BURSLEY, or BURLEY-- all being reasonable 'versions' of the name. She would have been born ca 1738. This message is about the BURSLEY and BURLEY names--someone of you listers may recognize the following and help make a connection to my Leah: In a reference book, "Planters of the Commonwealth 1620-1640" by Charles E. Banks, it says that John BURSLEY arrived at Weymouth, Massachusetts on the ship Katherine. The 1790 census of Massachusetts mentions a John BURSLEY at Barnstable. By 1810 there were at least six BURSLEYs listed including John and John Jr. In 1734 Thomas BURSLEY was paying taxes in Edgecomb Co., NC. John BURLEY was in Dobbs Co., NC in 1769; and Robert BURLEY in New Hanover Co., NC in 1755. Thank you, Bill Penny 21 Dec 1999--the snow and the cold have finally arrived in MN.

where exactly is this town,I never heard of it?Thanks! Glenda

Hello, Linda Odd that you mention a Greenberry Haywood Busby. Odder yet that you say he had no children. Could there be TWO by that decidedly different name? The Greenberry Haywood Busby I know of appears in the 1860 Putnam Co Mo census, age 34, born in TN, married w/ children!!!! 7 children as of 1860, in fact. One of those children , William Bagley Busby marries a relative of mine, a Martha Victoria Busby in 1878, Dekalb Co MO, daughter of Thomas A. Busby and Mary Victoria Hammer. Could this be the cousin marrying a cousin of which you speak? Many Greenberry Haywood Busby children end up in the far west. This sounds like too much of a coincidence. There must be a relationship here. Please email me.

On the 1850 St. Tammany Parish, LA Federal; Census Page 295 there is a J. H. Buzby, Age 36, Carpenter, born in VA, and wife Mary A. Age 36, born in Switzerland with the following children: J. H. Buzby, Age 4, born in Florida, Zacariah, Age 2, born in LA. and Jospeh, Age 1, born in LA. A funeral home record for another son, Thomas Jefferson Busbey, indicates that his parents were J. H. Busbey, born in W. VA, and Mary A. Miller, born in Switzerland. On the 1840 Walton County, Florida Census there is a Zachariah T, Busby with one Male between 5 an 10, one between 30 and 40 and one female betwen 40 and 50. Also, I found on the 1850 LEON COUNTY Census an Aurelia N. Miller and a Joseph Miller both born in Switzerland. I have an obituary July 31, 1898. for Aurelia Miller, which states she was an aunt of J. H. Busby, of the Call Publishing Company, and moved from this city in 1858. I have no idea to which city, nor where the Call Publishing Company was located. I do know that the elder J. H. (John H. Busbey) died in Caddo Parish, LA, as well Mary Anna Miller Busbey. Another son Joseph Leon Busbey, owned a brick yard in Shreveport, Caddo, Parish, LA. I wonder what the migration pattern of the Busbeys and Millers were from VA or WVA and Switzerland to Florida and Louisiana was, and if there is a connection to the Walton County Busby, Busbey. Buzbee, etc Also, if the Zacharia on the Fort Walton County Census could be a brother to the J.

Hi everyone, I'm still looking for Busby's who originated in Wisconsin or Nebraska from Thomas Busby or his brother Jonathan, who immigrated from England in 1853. Some of these Wisconsin Busbys may have traveled to other states... just trying to connect mine up. Thanks, Lonna

Jerri, Which part of your family went to Texas? Would be interested in them. Am going to Tenn and Ala this spring and am doing family research there. Would like to check out Alabama for Buzbee's/Busby's. Thanks and Merry Christmas, Ida Reno

How else can we access this book on the Busby's of Texas? I am very interested in researching all Busby/Buzbee's of Texas.. I am a descendant of Jeremiah Buzbee of Alabama whos family settled in Texas. Thank you, Ida Reno

Sure are 'Northern Buzbys. Lots in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Contact me off the list if you are checking on any Buzbys in these areas. Thanks, Lea Simitz Buzby

Aren't there any Yankee Busbys out there? I'm descended from Hiram who married Nancy Vice in KY in 1839. His son Nathaniel married Mary Elizabeth French in IA, and their daughter, Louetta, is my great-grandmother. Anybody else from Hiram's line? Would like to know Hiram's parents, etc. Susan in sunny!

His real name was John Zachariah and he was born in 1797, according to my records. His older brother was Jeremiah, b. 1795 (this is my line). Jeremiah moved down to Twiggs CO., GA after marrying Phebe Miles, then moved west to Mississippi prior to 1830. Do you have the migratory route for Zachariah and John Zachariah, as well as William Henry Busby, who is supposed to be a brother of John Zachariah and Jeremiah? I believe William Henry married a Phoebe Grimes in Mobile CO. in 1851. Do you have a gedcom on those two in Mobile CO.? Thanks. Howard
